This has to challenge the record for the longest running thread (i.e., total
number of posts) on RCM in the last 5 years I've been paying attention to it!

It's been interesting reading. Keep it up Gunner, Ed (and maybe Richard)!
Very educational.

Common assault is included in UK stats under violence. This
is a breakdown of the BCS report:

Yes, they're counted in the US as well. But they're not an element of our
National Crime Index, and thus they are not included in the Interpol stats.
The same applies to the UK. Common assault is not included in those UK
figures Gunner quoted, nor in the revised ones that I posted.
